British Railways Class Q6 '63351' of the formerly known NER Class T2 now very old dating back to the 1910s and 1920s is seen making a rescue of one of the new British Railways Class 101s from the 1950s traveling having just broken down north of Barnard Castle. The fireman remarks that the new diesel technology is laughable compared to the ways of steam, not knowing that some years later British Railways will be producing their last ever steam locomotive classes and the very railway line he now works on will be axed by the Beeching Cuts putting his job at risk. The British Rail Class 101s were later said to have been the backbone of their DMU fleet and all 120 except for a single one of the LNER Class Q6 / NER Class T2 would be scrapped.
